This is the final week of our series called “Defining Moments.” Defining moments are brief experiences brimming with meaning. This week, we are going to look at teachable moments.

Teachable moments are circumstances in which it becomes easier to share an idea or impress a value upon another. In teachable moments, an action will speak so loudly that we cannot help but grasp the deeper meaning. Sometimes an elder or authority figure will pause or take time out from an activity because she or he sees an opportunity to teach something important.

Take a moment to reflect on some of the teachable moments from your life. What were the lessons or values impressed upon you? Thank God today for those lessons.
